It was a gorgeous day at the end of July for Niki+Jim’s wedding in Plymouth, MA. Niki+Jim found us after we shot Kate+Dave’s wedding last September on Martha’s Vineyard. Thanks for having us there to capture your wedding day and create some amazing images for you. It was a day full of love and fun for everyone. I started with Niki getting ready with her mom after having her hair and makeup done at a salon nearby. Soon enough her bridesmaids started arriving all ready to go! Drew started the day with the guys in the hotel as well. It’s always nice when the couple both get ready at the same location! Niki’s sister Dee had this special clutch made to match the bridesmaids dresses using a brooch from their grandmother. It was a really special touch to Niki’s wedding day attire. After the final details we were ready to walk over to the church. It was awesome how close we were and it was only a few minute walk to the church. The guys were hiding out waiting for the ceremony to start while Niki was hanging out in front of the church saying hi to guests as they came into the church. The church, St. Peter’s in Plymouth, is beautiful and was a gorgeous location for the ceremony. During the ceremony Niki, her sister and her father sang a beautiful song. Music is clearly a huge part of Niki’s life and she often performs (she sang at Kate+Dave’s wedding). It was a really sweet and unique moment during the ceremony. After the ceremony we walked over to the East Bay Grille, such a cool and fun part of the day. Drew and I were running ahead to be ready to grab photos of the group walking by us. We took some time to take some photos of the wedding party and with Niki+Jim’s families. Then it was time for us to spend time with Niki+Jim and shoot some portraits of just them. We walked down to the little walkway and took advantage of the all the gorgeousness around us! Next it was time for the party to start! Niki and Jim went right into their first dance, followed by the parent dances. Niki and her Dad often perform together and obviously have a deep love for music. They took a break during their dance to break it down!Next it was time for toasts, with Niki’s sister starting out. She surprised Niki and Jim with a song that she had written and recorded special for the day. Niki often writes songs and performs them at her friends and families weddings. Her sister, Dee wanted to do this, but decided it would be too difficult to perform live (and not be crying). I don’t think their was a dry eye in the house. After all the formalities it was time to get the party started. Monica and Bryan of Night Rhythm were amazing and kept the dance floor packed the entire night.It was a given that Niki would get a mic in front of her during the reception. She was breaking it down with Monica!

We had a fabulous time shooting Abbie+Billy’s wedding a couple weeks ago at Moraine Farm in Beverly, MA. It ended up being a beautiful day (even though rain threatened us all day). We started the day at the Salem Waterfront Hotel where everyone was getting ready. I spent some time with Abbie and the bridesmaids, while Drew hung out with the guys. Abbie’s dress was an absolutely stunning lace dress. You are going to fall in love with the back detail. It is GORGEOUS!We finished up at the hotel and then headed to the Estate at Moraine Farm to finish getting ready. It was a quick drive from Salem to Beverly. The flowers had just been dropped off when we arrived. The Flower Mill did an amazing job on all the bouquets. The house on the Estate offers gorgeous rooms to get ready in. The bridal suite has so many lovely details and lots of space to finish getting ready. Abbie’s dress had lots of buttons which required all the bridesmaids to help button.

The guys looking handsome and ready to leave Salem and head to Beverly!After getting ready the girls and I went outside for a few portraits before the guys arrived on site. The front doors provided a perfect backdrop for portraits.

The bridesmaids look stunning in the perfect shade of yellow! Abbie wore her grandmother’s brooch in her hair. It was such a sweet and romantic touch. Once the gentlemen arrive to Moraine Farm it was time to shoot some portraits. We ended up waiting to start the ceremony due to a mishap with one of the buses picking guests up at one of the hotels. We were ready to go as soon as the final bus arrived!The backdrop of the gorgeous house made for an amazing entrance for Abbie and her Mom. The ceremony was full of sweet and heartfelt moments. Billy’s brother, Chris, officiated the ceremony.We then snuck away for some portraits of the wedding party. The reception was full of amazing details created by the bride (and her family and friends). Next it was time to party! Soon after the reception started the rain finally came through, but it didn’t matter and everyone had an amazing time dancing the night away under the tent.

I can’t believe we hadn’t already blogged this wedding! It was a gorgeous day for Christine and Mike’s wedding at Butternut Farm Golf Club in Stow. I started the day getting ready at the hotel while Drew was with the guys at their home. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Christine’s dress by Maggie Sottero. It’s such a romantic dress, and her earrings we equally romantic and completed her look. Christine and Mike’s nephew hamming it up being adorable with the guys. Such a cute moment!Danielle of Willow Branch did an amazing job with all the floral details! The ceremony archway was stunning. Who doesn’t love an aisle of rose petals? Christine and Mike surprised their Mom’s by taking a moment to thank them during the ceremony and they each gave them a rose. It was a really sweet moment. The reception was equally as gorgeous! I loved all the details, I love brides who do a variety of centerpieces. It adds so much interest to the reception. We had fun during the cocktail hour with the wedding party! The dance floor was packed all night long!
